How do you write tai chi in Chinese calligraphy?
Tai chi is 太极 (tàijí). Tai chi, the “supreme ultimate” of yin and yang, and the martial art 太极拳. Traditional 太極.
Which script should I choose for 太极?
Regular script (楷书) is the one every Chinese reader can read, so it suits a tattoo, a gift or a sign. Running script (行书) looks handwritten and still reads easily. Cursive (草书) is the most beautiful and the hardest to read.
Is this real calligraphy?
These are brush fonts, made from a calligrapher’s writing, so every copy of a character looks the same. A calligrapher’s own hand changes each stroke with the brush and the ink. For something to keep, such as a tattoo, have a calligrapher write it.
